Or little screws.

Try pulling the rear side tight first and pull the wrinkles toward the front corner.
Another round or prob just tweak this topper until i have to get another truck. I will be restretching the rubber onto the frame when its warm out, which may be a good time to soften the transition. Really i dont loose any useable space, and it should help the flow along the side which moves onto the back, and crosswind flow. My buddy suggested trying rubber cement to weld the seams. Im down. And i would like to cut the tail corners a bit.
Anyways thanks for the input freebeard. Man i need a shop!
